Attendees included 7th District Assembly candidate Carol Murphy, representatives from the home care industry and other industries supportive of Assemblyman Singleton, who is currently running for the 7th District Senate seat.

Chief Government Affairs Officer David Totaro welcomed Assemblyman Singleton and thanked the many sponsors and attendees who contributed over $13,000 in support of the Assemblyman’s campaign. Assemblyman Singleton has been a supporter home care, our clients, and employees for many years. He recently sponsored legislation that will mandate managed care companies to reimburse the Personal Care Assistant (PCA) Program at no less than the state’s fee-for-service rate.

In July, Assemblyman Singleton introduced new legislation to increase the reimbursement rate under state fee-for-service for private duty nursing by $10 per hour. During the event, BAYADA recognized Assemblyman Singleton as the “Legislator of the Year” for his ongoing commitment to making home care better and stronger, as clients and families deserve the care they need in the setting they prefer: their own homes.

On Tuesday, the Government Affairs Director in Delaware and Maryland Shannon Gahs and I attended an intimate fundraiser for Michigan Senator Deborah Stabenow. During the fundraiser, we had the chance to thank her for her support of our clients and employees this summer during the intense proceedings leading up to the health care repeal vote. Senator Stabenow specifically mentioned the thousands of phone calls and emails sent by BAYADA employees and clients and the impact it had. Our efforts made a difference this summer and helped BAYADA be known as an advocacy leader.

We also had the opportunity to speak with Senator Stabenow regarding the catastrophic home health grouping model proposed by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS). he was deeply concerned with the potential cuts. There’s still time for you to contact your senators and congressman click here to protect our industry.

The Springfield Republicans hosted an event to thank Representative Adolph for his service this past St. Patrick’s Day.

Representative Bill Adolph served as the House Appropriations Chair and was a key legislator in helping us achieve a $5 per hour increase for pediatric shift nursing in Pennsylvania in 2016.

His tireless advocacy and perseverance helped ensure BAYADA will be able to recruit and retain the nurses needed to serve our pediatric population.

Unfortunately for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Representative Adolph retired from the legislature at the end of last year.

Chief Government Affairs Officer Dave Totaro and I had the opportunity to attend the evening and thank Representative Bill Adolph again for championing our rate increase. The event was well-attended with over 200 local supporters, dignitaries, and elected officials. We also had the opportunity to see Senator Scott Wagner, who is also running for Governor, and Congressmen Pat Meehan.
